Hello! More players than ever are choosing to play Steam games with a controller, and we thought it would be a good time to share some stats about controller usage on Steam along with an update about Steam Input. Stats: Controller use on Steam Since 2018, daily average controller use has tripled from ~5% to up to 15% ~42% of these controller sessions are using Steam Input During that time, the controller landscape has changed: 59% of sessions are using Xbox controllers 26% are using PlayStation...
I guess the goal is to profit from confusion, and it seems like it’s working because even people on Lemmy are tricked by it. Consider the average consumer.
I assume we saw the same one but it wasn’t an ‘official’ controller, it was a 3rd party one specifically designed with steam in mind. Made by a company called Hori. Valve hasn’t announced another steam controller yet.
That’s pretty cool, I didn’t realise there were so many folks using controllers on Steam. I also absolutely love Steam Input.
I just want a steam controller 2 that’s basically exactly the same as the steam deck input scheme!
Saw a post today with the new “official” Steam Controller. It’s trash. None of the features that made the first one cool. Doesn’t even have rumble.
No, you didn’t. You saw a third party controller.

Tech sites say that it’s officially licenses by Steam, and it has the Steam logo on it.
Either they have Valve’s blessing on it, or Valve’s legal team is fuckin sleeping.

rumble is bloat
agreed. should be haptics.
Apparently the Horipad’s gonna be that. I think I’ll stick with the Dualsense.
